Don Marean and I share a great deal. We are both products of the same generation; less than two months in age separates us. We are both what we like to say “addicted” to the sport of harness racing. We both like to travel this great country, although Marean has been in it far deeper than me. Neither of us were born into the sport as so many previously have been. Marean came by his addiction when he first began going to the races at Gorham, ME, in the mid-1950s. It was pretty much love at first sight. He became an almost instant fan. It did take him some time before he decided to dip his toe into the water and become an owner. That happened in 1984. Ever since then he has never not owned at least part of a horse, whether it be a racehorse, a broodmare, a yearling, weanling or suckling.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

As September arrives every year, we get excited about our homebred yearlings and future purchases that might come along, all for hopefully finding the Derby winner. But October is also something to look forward to with the Retired Racehorse Project, which we have been involved in since 2017. This year is a unique one; our former veterinarian Dr. Brittland Hughes has our homebred Town Of Gold in the Hunter-Jumper and Competitive Trail divisions; Am Prepared, a homebred out of the GI mare Tannery; and In the Loop, a $150,000 Keeneland purchase who won first time out for Colts Neck Stables. As I joined Mr Santulli's operation back in 2014 from my return from Saudi Arabia, I learned the importance of proper re-homing for all of our horses once retired, from monitoring horses we lost in claiming races and talking to connections when their forms are tailing off, inquiring for future re-homing plans, to being a big supporter of Second Call in New Jersey. In all my years at Colts Neck, I think RRP is one of my favorite events to watch, with my former horses growing and developing in new disciplines off the track. This year I am excited to be attending for the first time–both participating in two days of volunteering and obviously cheering on my three old trainees. Horse racing is in a crucial transition with HISA where we are seeing lots of positive stats but the general public should also understand that the reason we get up every day, 365 days a year, is for the love of the horse. Being able to watch these horses compete, whether it's on the track, in the field, or in the ring, is a treat every horse lover should appreciate.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
